After the initial ‘wow factor’ has worn off from receiving your engagement ring and being officially engaged, it will eventually set in that you will need to plan a wedding. This can be a rather difficult time in your life for many reasons. Of course, you want to appease your friends and family members by throwing a huge party for them to attend, but you also want to keep costs low. No couple wants to begin their marriage in the world of debt! From cozy island weddings, away from it all to lavish ceremonies in big cities, you will have many decisions to make long before this big day arrives. If you are anything like your average person, you will probably change your mind about a few things in the year leading up to your big day. Worry not! The trick is to do a lot of thinking before you dive head first into the exciting world of wedding planning.
Sometimes couples start researching the cost of a wedding in their hometown and immediately become overwhelmed with everything that simply must be done. This is when they start looking to a destination wedding, far away from their friends and family. It is not like you do not want to invite your friends and family members, but this day is all about you! Not them! If you are seriously considering an island wedding for your big day, there are many things you should be aware of when it comes to coordinating with a venue that is likely pretty far away from your home town.
You will still have some planning to do yourself if you are eloping, but the good thing is the resort, where you will be staying, will take care of a lot of this for you. You pretty much get there a few days before your wedding to have a face to face sit down with the resort’s coordinator. Voice your opinion and concerns, then leave the rest up to them! You are left to enjoy your time together at the spa, beach or snorkeling in the days leading up to your island wedding.
You may be wondering about your friends. Well, they can come too! Anyone, who wants to share this special day with you, can certainly book their travel plans well in advance to join in on the fun. This is a great way for your friends to be able to join you, but not break your budget because they will be paying their own way! Your island wedding will be amazing and intimate and you will certainly not break the bank when planning it! The most important part is making sure you have a great time.
